I'm trying to build PyQt5 from the sources. I'm running fedora 28 and I installed Qt5 via dnf
. Installing Sip following this seems OK. But when i try to configure PyQt i got this error:
# python3 configure.py -q /usr/bin/qmake-qt5
Querying qmake about your Qt installation...
Error: Unable to import PyQt5.sip. Make sure you have configured SIP to
create a private copy of the sip module.
According to the doc I did:
# python3 configure.py --sip-module private.sip
# python3 configure.py -q /usr/bin/qmake-qt5 -n private.sip
But i still get the error. So I'm guessing I'm not using it properly. Any suggestions ?
P.S: I know (and i did) that it can be done via pip
but i'm facing the same problem than here
